Wolfspeed 15-W, 2.7 to 3.5-GHz, 50-V, GaN MMIC Power Amplifier, Bare Die CMPA2735015D

Wolfspeed’s CMPA2735015D is a gallium-nitride (GaN) HEMT-based monolithic microwave integrated circuit (MMIC). GaN has superior properties compared to silicon or gallium-arsenide, including higher breakdown voltage, higher saturated electron drift velocity and higher thermal conductivity. GaN HEMTs also offer greater power density and wider bandwidths compared to Si and GaAs transistors. This MMIC contains a two-stage reactively matched amplifier design approach enabling very wide bandwidths to be achieved.
